★ “Family issues are neither airbrushed nor oversimplified. From the first page to the last, this compassionate, funny, moving, compulsively readable novel about what makes a family gets it right.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))★ “Equally heartwarming and heart-wrenching... Benway (Emmy & Oliver) delves into the souls of these characters as they wrestle to overcome feelings of inadequacy, abandonment, and betrayal, gradually coming to understand themselves and each other.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))“A brilliant exercise in empathy.” (New York Times Book Review)“A sensitive exploration of what it means to be a family…With an abundance of warmth and humor, the novel continues to circle back to the message that love doesn’t require perfection — that perhaps it reveals itself most fully when we don’t quite get it right, but keep trying.” (Chicago Tribune)“Benway adeptly leads readers through a tale of love, loss, and self-discovery. Expect to cry real tears at this one.” (School Library Journal)“Far from the Tree is the kind of book that strikes close to a reader’s heart. I had to know what happened to Grace, Maya, and Joaquin, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Beautiful.” (Ally Condie, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of the Matched trilogy)“Far from the Tree is a touching story about the strength and love of unconventional families, and the unbreakable bond of siblings near and far. Robin Benway’s characters are authentically crafted, full of heart, hurt, and hope.” (Brandy Colbert, author of Pointe and Little & Lion)“A beautifully written story about the families we’re born with and the families we choose, as well as the power — and potential pain — of that choice.” (Bustle)“A deeply moving novel...The trials the three teens face are always confronted directly and never diminished; their relationships, both new and old, are complicated and beautiful.” (Shelf Awareness)“Far from the Tree dives deep into themes of heartbreak and love, and presents a profound, emotional meditation on what it means to be family.” (Brightly) Robin Benway is a National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of six novels for young adults, including Audrey, Wait!, the AKA series, and Emmy & Oliver.

Perfect for fans of This Is Us, Robin Benway’s beautiful interweaving story of three very different teenagers connected by blood explores the meaning of family in all its forms—how to find it, how to keep it, and how to love it.
Being the middle child has its ups and downs.
But for Grace, an only child who was adopted at birth, discovering that she is a middle child is a different ride altogether. After putting her own baby up for adoption, she goes looking for her biological family, including—
Maya, her loudmouthed younger bio sister, who has a lot to say about their newfound family ties. Having grown up the snarky brunette in a house full of chipper redheads, she’s quick to search for traces of herself among these not-quite-strangers. And when her adopted family’s long-buried problems begin to explode to the surface, Maya can’t help but wonder where exactly it is that she belongs.
And Joaquin, their stoic older bio brother, who has no interest in bonding over their shared biological mother. After seventeen years in the foster care system, he’s learned that there are no heroes, and secrets and fears are best kept close to the vest, where they can’t hurt anyone but him.
Don't miss this moving novel that addresses such important topics as adoption, teen pregnancy, and foster care.
Moving, heartbreaking and refreshing... LOVE IT You know that feeling when you finish a book and you realize something inside you has changed because of the story and the characters and you don't know if you'll ever find another book that will move you the same way? I hadn't had that feeling in a while. I had missed it. Far from the Tree brought it back.It was refreshing to read a YA book that didn't involve two main characters falling in love as the main plot. I loved that this book was about family, different types of families, how imperfect and dysfunctional they can be, but also, how much love exists.I love this book so much that I want to carry it with me. I wish Joaquin, Grace and Maya were real so I could meet them and hug them all and tell them they deserve the best. I wish they hadn't had to suffer as much as they did but also know that what they went through led them to reunite in a moment where they needed family the most.Far from the tree is by no means perfect, there were aspects that were left in an 'open-ending' kind of way (and I am not a pro open-ending person), I also wish the book could've had 200-300 pages more so I could've seen the new-found siblings interacting more; but Joaquin, Grace and Maya's stories have a place in my heart... I love them, I love this book and I can't wait to re-read it (oh yes, I will).Touching Accurate Portrayal of Adolescents' Feelings about Being Given Up for Adoption I like to read books that have won literary prizes, and when I saw that this one concerned adoption I knew I had to read it, because I am adopted.This was a compelling read . . . the story of three half-siblings who share the same mother who abandoned each of them in turn. My story is much the same, except we only found on another in our 60's through DNA testing. In this novel, the two offspring who were adopted had access to limited information about their birth mother and her offspring which enabled them to locate their siblings. The children were two girls and one boy, all of whom are still in their teens during the book. The girls were both adopted at birth, while the boy bounced around from foster home to foster home.Their experiences were each quite different. One girl is an only child (like me), the other is a brown haired girl in a family of red heads with a sister born to her parents a year after her adoption. The only child's family is serene; the other's family is chaotic with battling parents and an alcoholic mom. The boy's life has taught him to protect himself by being guarded and not letting himself care for others.I liked what this book says about families, families by blood, by adoption, by fact, by friendship. I read it very quickly and cried several times. I think the author did a great job of exploring and exposing the raw emotions, questions and doubts that adoptees can experience. Every adoptee's story is different as this novel clearly demonstrates. The conclusion is full of hope and love.Excellent quick read.
